Ben Owen
Ben's current work includes improvised and graphic score based
performance, audio and video collaborations.
early sound studies began with cassettes and live radio, in tandem
with stone lithography printmaking and photographic slide projections.
his process of lithographic printing is balanced by the intended
preservation and natural degradation of marks. he finds complimentary
inherent similarities between the cycles of inking and surface
reception of printmaking, mark making through drawing on printing
stones and audio marks amplified by contact mics and environmental
recordings. he is interested in the relationship between the spacial
aspects of existing sound fields, intervened environments, and the
projection and reflection of light. locations are an active and
physical palette, much like an improvisational setting where control
is relinquished. through mark making, and an attention to instability
he continues the practice of listening and response.
